Chopper - Bobber:
Hi,
Here is the latest XS650 chopper/bobber from our shop: Wise Guys Choppers, LLC in Marysville, WA. My son and I are now building XS custom bikes full time and are loving it. We built this for a friend who had an XS back in the late 70’s, and he always wanted to have another but not a stocker. At our shop we only work on the XS models because we believe them to be a complete viable motorcycle for all purposes…… and the fact that they are all around fun to ride and darned good looking too! This bike has been a real pleasure to build. We stretched the hardtail rear section 4 inches, added 4 inches in the backbone, and 5 in the down tubes. This allowed us to put a front end from a 84 IT490 at a 40 degree rake and keep the trail decent. The seat height is at 22 inches. We frisco’d the sporty tank, added a monoshock suspended seat, built some intake tubes, added a skate board chain tensioner, made a dual mechanical rear brake loop. Custom built the forwards, powdercoated the entire bike. All work was done in-house with exception of the pinstripping, and frame coating. We don’t have an oven big enough to do a full size frame yet. Well we hope you enjoy the pictures here and if anyone needs assistance or work on your project be sure to contact us at medelack@earthlink.net or just call the shop at 360-651-5665. Thanks from Joe-Wiseguy, and Red-Sexy.
